Taking place between 19-25 May, 2024, the Lyon Open marks a pre-cursor to the French Open with the draw now confirmed for the ATP 250 also known as Open Parc Auvergne Rhone Alpes Lyon.
Arthur Fils is the current defending champion. But he won't be defending the title this time around after withdrawing mid last week. Another Frenchman will attempt to take over the mantle as top player in the draw, that being Ugo Humbert.
The French No.1 will face Dominik Koepfer or Brandon Nakashima in the second round. Lurking in the same quarter is Tomas Martin Etcheverry who faces Thiago Seyboth Wild or Pedro Martinez. Alexander Bublik is the other top name in the draw.
Tiafoe, Mannarino, Cerundolo and Monfils among leading lights
After a few months of rising to career highs, he will look to add another title. He starts off against either Mackenzie McDonald or Aleksandar Vukic. Third seed is another Frenchman to go alongside Humbert in Adrian Mannarino. He faces potentially Luciano Darderi.
Frances Tiafoe is also involved. He opens up against Jaume Munar with Dan Evans or Arthur Rinderknech awaiting. Opening up the next section is Gael Monfils who faces Yoshihito Nishioka.
Frances Tiafoe, one of the leading names involved this week at the Lyon Open.
Francisco Cerundolo, Mariano Navone and a tie between Alexandre Muller and Richard Gasquet are also among the highlights. The ATP hits Lyon for the final chapter ahead of the French Open.
Albeit not attracting the likes of Novak Djokovic and Casper Ruud, it is a competitive field in comparison to a stacked effort in Geneva.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!mandoist09-11-2026

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
